→Recommended N64 Setups
*'''General Use'''
**GLideN64
**ShunyuanAzimer's HLE Audio NEW (set to LLE)
**Static Interpreter RSP or Zilmar's RSP
**Either of the RSP plugins should be fine for most games. The Static Interpreter RSP is slightly more accurate, whereas zilmar's is much faster. Should you wish to use GLideN64 in LLE mode (or any LLE video plugin for that matter), if using zilmar's RSP, simply uncheck "Graphics HLE" in the Plugin configuration screen. If using the Static Interpreter RSP, you'll have to run the spconfig.exe that comes with that plugin, and tell it to NOT "simulate RSP graphics from external plugin" (in other words, type "0"). ParaLLEl-RSP only works in LLE, so GLideN64's HLE mode will be unavailable with that plugin.
**Make sure you configure the graphics plugin to show texture enhancement options. Then you'll have an extra tab to change more options. Go to the texture enhancement tab and click on the button that gives the best performance and it should improve framerate once you saved the settings. There's also another button for best texture quality. There's little need to touch the other plugins. Recommended for the older zilmar-spec emulators as well (replace Project64 Video with Glide64 Final for those). If you absolutely need more performance, you can try Jabo's plugin (specifically version 1.6.1, NOT the buggy version bundled with Project64), though it comes at a cost to compatibility.
*'''Accuracy'''
**angrylion's Pixel-Accurate N64 Plugin (Angrylion RDP Plus)
**Azimer's Audio NEW
**Static RSP Interpreter
**If you have a decent quad-core CPU, you can run many N64 games with pixel-perfect graphics at full speed, thanks to the new multithreaded version of angrylion's software plugin. The new Azimer's plugin (still WIP) works good in LLE. Since there's almost no visual difference, you may as well use PJ64's RSP or ParaLLEl-RSP to get better performance, and/or move to ParaLLEl-RDP outright for even greater speed and upscaling options to boot (though it goes without saying doing so is upscaling would no longer be accurate). Conversely, if you want even greater accuracy, disable "Hide advanced settings" under Configuration, then enable "Always use interpreter core" under Advanced, and under Angrylion's options, disable multi-threading and set compatibility to "Slow". Performance WILL crash, but hey, it'll be accurate!
===Mupen64Plus===
[[Mupen64Plus]] has its own set of plugins which are incompatible with plugins used in other emulatorsbased on the zilmar spec such as Project64. Here is an overview of recommended setups.
*'''General Use'''
**Video: Glide64mk2
**Video: Glide64
**RSP: HLE
**For slow, low-end devices and old PCs only. If further speed is desired or needed, you may try glN64 or Rice, but using them comes at a steep cost in compatibility and accuracy, and the majority of many low-end devices in use today ought to be able to handle Glide64 just fine(well, with the exception of certain underpowered "retro gaming" handhelds).
*'''Accuracy'''
**Core: Mupen64Plus-Next
